Like hundreds of thousands of people; one of my first jobs doing science was through the National Science Foundation's Research Experience for Undergraduates program.

Trump and those with him want to end that; as part of denying training to near 30,000 students per year.

Do not let them.

I’ve been told the true situation is far worse than anything publicly reported. #saveNSF

From an NSF colleague: Please call your congressional representatives and ask for the resignation of NSF chief management officer Micah Cheatham. Their press release is appended below (with alt text). #saveNSF

Call for Resignation of NSF Chief Management Officer A Statement from the American Federation of Government Employees Local 3403 This week the NSF Chief Management Officer has completely eliminated the Division of Excellence for Equity in STEM (EES), cut 84 Senior Executive Service positions, and announced the imminent elimination of almost 300 temporary employees. These actions make it clear that the Chief Management Officer has no appreciation for the complexities of the NSF. The actions taken by the CMO clearly violate federal law. Many of the functions of the EES division are required by federal statute. The Administration, and CMO Cheatham, have no legal authority to arbitrarily cancel programs that Congress authorized and funded. CMO Cheatham already has a record of illegal action at the behest of the Administration. In February, the court ruled that the firing of probationary employees, done under CMO Cheatham’s leadership, was illegal.

Beyond his willingness to break the law, CMO Cheatham’s duplicitous cruelty and callous disregard for the people whose livelihoods are being jeopardized reveal a fundamental unfitness for any role overseeing the lives and work of others. CMO Cheatham is clearly more interested in appeasing the Administration than in doing the work directed and funded by Congress. NSF employees, including those represented by AFGE Local 3403, have lost confidence, faith and trust in Chief Management Officer Cheatham’s ability to perform his duties. We call for his immediate resignation so that the Agency can return to its apolitical focus on discovery, education, and entrepreneurship.

With the news of NSF divisions being abolished and more grants terminated, we urge our community to continue communicating with Congress to #SupportNSF and #SaveNSF. Scripts and tools you can use: https://shorturl.at/i7WfU

"Without scientific progress the national health would deteriorate... we could not hope for improvement in our standard of living or for an increased number of jobs for our citizens; and ... we could not have maintained our liberties against tyranny." - Vannevar Bush, The Endless Frontier (1945) #saveNSF

"Moreover, since health, well-being, and security are proper concerns of Government, scientific progress is, and must be, of vital interest to Government. Without scientific progress the national health would deteriorate; without scientific progress we could not hope for improvement in our standard of living or for an increased number of jobs for our citizens; and without scientific progress we could not have maintained our liberties against tyranny." - Vannevar Bush, The Endless Frontier (1945)

SSE, SSB, and ASN logos. Text: Tri-societies Week of Action for NSF. Science under siege: Over 1000 NSF grants have been terminated by political appointees- threatening the foundation of American innovation and education, and more cuts loom; entire research programs are being erased without explanation. What’s at stake? STEM education for K-12 students, jobs and infrastructure in rural communities, support for veterans in research and education, cybersecurity and national defense innovation, global leadership in science and technology. Join the week of action: Contact Congress: Switchboard: (202) 224-3121, tell them to protect NSF. Share your story: Post on social media #WithoutNSF #SupportNSF #SaveNSF, engage local media; use our media tool to reach out to local reporters and newspapers; engage others: communicate the importance of NSF to colleagues, friends, and family.

My graduate research was funded by the National Science Foundation. The research that sealed my tenure case was majority funded by NSF. Five of my graduate students have been funded by NSF. My current sabbatical is #NSFfunded. In short, #withoutNSF, I would not be the scientist I am today. #saveNSF
